From Ruins to Recreation - How Nakuru's Abandoned Silos Became Cyprus Park
Back to News and Updates
For decades, 30 abandoned silos in Nakuru City's Industrial Area were left to decay, a forgotten legacy of the National Cereals and Produce Board. Constructed in the 1970s for grain storage, these towering structures were deemed obsolete by the late 1980s due to severe structural concerns. Over time, they became overgrown, a notorious hideout for criminals, and a significant security risk for the community.

Just when the abandoned silos seemed destined for demolition, David Mwangi, a visionary investor, stepped forward with a bold and transformative idea.
Looking beyond decay, Mwangi imagined a vibrant, multifunctional space that could serve the community in entirely new ways. His vision gave birth to Cyprus Park, breathing new life into the 6.3-acre plot and transforming it into one of Nakuru City’s largest and most dynamic recreational centers.
A New Hotspot for Family Fun
